One thing I thought our group of riders could do is give them a good Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas gifts/doanitons for Ben's wife and kids and new little one. Whattya think?
We could start a collection @ Carbondale this weekend and just let it grow through the holidays.
I don't know, this one really tugged at me.

all of you fast guys with sponsors could check and see about donations for product to be raffled or bid on....to late to do it at Carbondale, but maybe on one of the websites.....
not to make the 2 web sites deal even bigger....but could we for this post commit to one site or the other?
If this idea sounds like something to do I will contact MSR and FMF...

Good idea b-rad, we'll have the mini number plates for sale at the gate at Carbondale. Everyone grab a couple and 100% of proceeds will go to the Burdick Family. Anyone that wants to lend a hand let me know..

Hey Mark...I talked w/ Moose just about an hour ago and he told me to re-send that e-mail to Jake and Jake is on the lookout for it.
Also, if a raffle does materialize, BulletProof Designs will donate a set of guards and I have a set of Roc Stompa pegs that I can donate

Ben, we met at a creek crossing at Merwin 1.... where I literally ran into you! I recall making a pass attempt for the lead and crashing. My mistake caused my bike to knock you/your bike over (back into the mud) - just as you were getting unstuck.
I remember thinking - "oh boy, this guy is going to be ticked", but you were really cool about it. We talked for about a min before I rode away thinking "what a great guy with a great attitude."
I hate to hear this news man... Here's to a quick recovery derived from the same great attitude.
Get well soon Ben.

Ben and family
I am sorry to hear about this, I am not sure what to say other than get better soon, and I hope that in your dreams while you sleep this off you are getting that hole shot you always talk about.
Get well soon
Flip
